It's My Party (and Giveaway)!!!

It's been another great year of fun, finishes, and friendships.  It's my 4th blog anniversary!  🎆🎇🎉🎈🎊

I started my blog four years, late on a Friday night, so I could have a chance to win a prize.  😊  There wasn't even a single photo in my first post.

This continues to be a wonderful adventure of learning new things and making new friends.



2018 is my year:  my car will be paid off in June; mortgage paid off in July 🙌; turning 50 in July; going to India in September to celebrate; and going to Sewtopia Boston in November.

*Giveaway*
Leave a comment telling me something exciting that's happening for you in 2018, or something you're looking forward to trying in 2018.  I'll randomly draw four names at the end of the day Sunday, February 25, 2018.  I have four patterns to give away:  two from Jaybird Quilts, one from Lazy Girl Designs, and one from Patterns from Jean Boyd.

Thank you to everyone for your comments on my blog, for your great advice, and for providing me wonderful opportunities.  It makes this adventure so much more fun.  I can't wait to see what the rest of 2018 has to offer.

  1. Congratulations on your blogaversity Anja, tell me, did you win a prize? It sounds like you have so much to look forward to this year, I hope it is all you dreamed of. I started this year with two weddings to look forward to, my stepdaughter was married earlier this month but I still have my son's wedding to look forward to in May. His fiancee is the most beautiful girl and the perfect choice for him, I am so happy she is becoming part of our family.

  3. What an exciting year you have in store! I'm starting the 15 year journey of mortgage paying as you're ending yours! 😊 Moving into the house is the big thing for me, the rest of the year is unplanned for now!

  4. Congratulations on your anniversary and what a year you have ahead of you. I am so excited to be going to Melbourne (Australia), from New Zealand, to meet up with some of the women I went on retreat with to Bali last July. Even more exciting is today three of us booked to go on a 14 day Java retreat next July with the same organiser. Soooo... excited.

  9. Congratulations on all the great things coming your way this year. My house will also be paid off this year in August. What a short 30 years this was. I will be turning 60 in September this year. I can not believe how fast the years fly by.

  19. from and ex-Scotian, congratulations to you on your blog anniversary, on your 50th, and all things nice that you'll be doing. I'm looking forward to a retreat at the end of April in VT and perhaps a local retreat the 3rd week of March. Most importantly, our family will be celebrating in August at the Bar Mitzvah or our second grandson. Happy times ahead!

  20. Hurrah for such a great year, Anja. The mortgage part will be especially exciting!
    Sadly, I cannot think of anything. I just started a new job, so I cannot count on having much leave for a while.
